Share your part details, drawings, or CAD files. Redstone will review the requirements and confirm feasibility, tolerances, materials, lead time, and next steps.
Final specifications are confirmed during the technical feasibility review.
Redstone helps hardware teams move from released drawings to repeat production with documented quality, competitive unit costs, and engineering support from the U.S.
ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949 active at every facility on the program list. Statistical process control from first article. Third-party inspection at origin before every shipment. Audit-ready documentation included.
Your RFQ goes to a specific facility and a dedicated U.S. program manager, not a bidding portal. Redstone owns the shop relationship and the quality outcome. One U.S. point of contact from quote through receiving dock.
Flat pattern development, DFM review for bend radius and relief, and PPAP submission run from the U.S. team. Laser cutting and press brake forming run under one roof at the certified facility, so blanks and bends stay tied to one process owner. You get one invoice and one contact in your time zone.

2024 and 6061 are both workhorse aerospace alloys, but they serve opposite needs: 2024 delivers high strength and fatigue resistance under tension, while 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility.
7075 aluminum nearly doubles the tensile strength of 6061 and dominates aerospace tooling, but it is generally considered non-weldable and harder to form. 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility for a broader range of industries.
6061 aluminum can be bent, but its precipitation-hardened T6 temper makes it prone to cracking if handled without the right techniques. Proper bend radii, annealing, and controlled heating are all essential for successful results.
A36 and AR500 are two common steel grades with very different strengths. A36 is valued for workability and low cost; AR500 is engineered for extreme wear and abrasion resistance.

24 gauge to 1/4 inch on standard press brake tooling, with heavier plate forming supported at select facilities on a per-program basis. Bend length runs up to 10 feet per bend on standard equipment. Send your part and Redstone confirms the right facility and tooling at the quoting stage.
±0.5 degree on bend angle and ±0.010 inch on bend-to-bend dimensions as standard, with ±0.005 inch held on qualifying programs. Tolerance depends on material, gauge, and bend count, so Redstone confirms achievable tolerance against your drawing at the feasibility review.
Most formed parts start as a laser-cut blank. Redstone cuts the flat pattern on the laser line and forms it on the press brake in the same certified facility, so the cut and the bends stay tied to one process owner. Send the model and Redstone quotes the cut and form together.
Bare, powder coat, anodize, zinc plating, chromate conversion, and wet paint. Stainless can be grained or brushed. Finishing runs after forming at the facility or a qualified partner. Redstone confirms the finish against your service environment at the quoting stage.
Yes. Send the existing part drawings, flat patterns, and current supplier quote. Redstone assesses transfer feasibility, runs a parallel quote with the certified facilities, and projects landed-cost savings and lead-time impact before you commit. Most forming needs no hard tooling, so transfer is fast.
